Really? I work in AI and my biggest concern is that I don't see any real products coming out of this space. I work closer to the models, and people in this specific area are making progress, but when I look at what's being done down stream I see nothing, save demos that don't scale beyond a few examples.

This is literally all I see right now. There's some really fun hobbyist stuff happening in the image gen area that I think is here to stay, but LLMs haven't broken out of the "autocomplete on steroids" use cases.
> today's stuff is useful now
Can you give me examples of 5, non-coding assistant, profitable use cases for LLMs that aren't still in the "needed just a bit more research to be commercially viable" stage?
I love working in AI, think the technology is amazing, and do think there are some under exploited (though less exciting) use cases, but all I see if big promises with under delivery. I would love to be proven wrong.
